Cody sneaked all the way to the bridge. He was now sure that the Kent was indeed occupied, but the number of Umbala people who occupied the battleship was not large, so he had the opportunity to use his familiarity with the battleship's terrain to hide until
Now.
He quietly slipped into a secret maintenance passage and came to the bridge vent, wanting to check the situation of the bridge.
However, just as he was about to poke his head out, he suddenly heard a familiar voice!
"...Your, um, 'artillery support' is very effective. Very good, Ventress. It seems that your bad reputation here in the Republic is not entirely just bragging." The voice was deep and breathy.
Full, "Next, I will board the Kent with Anakin and try to recapture the battleship. You know what to do..."
The same voice also arrested him not long ago on trumped-up charges and threatened to send him to a military court!
Jedi Master, Pon-Krell!
And who is he talking to? Ventress? That guy from Count Dooku? The Dark Jedi?
Cody was so angry that he clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
Betrayal! This is a naked betrayal of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order!!
"Hahahahaha! Then you can take advantage of Anakin Skywalker's full attention on me and pierce his heart with a sword! Hahahahaha!" Asajj Ventress licked his lips and smiled evilly.
He said, "Count Dooku... and the Angel of Death will be very, very satisfied! So, I now..."
Her eyes suddenly turned sharp, the lightsaber in her hand instantly unsheathed, and she turned around and slashed it down!
Whoa!!! The ventilation duct diagonally above was split into two by this sword!
"What happened? Don't tell me there are still hidden dangers on the Kent." Pang Krel said coldly.
"When I do things, I never leave any hidden dangers." Ventress put away the lightsaber, turned around and walked outside.
…
"You know, kid, I've always had a very bad feeling about this operation." On a LAAT/I assault transport ship, Anakin Skywalker said while driving the spacecraft.
"Even if we don't use the Force to sense it, we can still know that what happened this time is weird. Tian Xingzi. The Kent was actually occupied by Cody? This is completely impossible!" Ahsoka Tano sat in the passenger seat.
"Let's not talk about whether Cody will betray him. The soldiers on the Kent are not in the same unit as the 212th Attack Battalion. It is absolutely impossible for them to follow Cody to cause trouble."
"Cody will never betray." Anakin said solemnly.
"Well, it's impossible for him to capture a battleship alone." Ahsoka added.
"So Master Pon-Krel's judgment is correct. We should go and check it out in person and resolve this matter." Anakin nodded.
Ahsoka Tano spread her hands and curled her lips and said: "Actually, to be honest, Master Krell is so sure that Cody did this, don't you think it's suspicious?"
"This is just your prejudice against him. Master Krell is a fighting hero of the Jedi Order. He may have his persistence and may have a different way of thinking from us, but we should not deny him because of this."
Anakin Skywalker said.
Ahsoka Tano snorted coldly, "Okay, then let's not hold any prejudices and use logic to judge. There is something wrong with Master Pon-Krel's words."
Anakin Skywalker was silent for a moment and said, "I will board the ship alone later, and you will wait on the ship."
"I think it would be better if I go with you and then hand over the ship to the navigation droid?" Ahsoka Tano refused.
"Believe me, little devil, and I only believe in you." Anakin Skywalker turned around and stared directly into Ahsoka's eyes.
Ahsoka Tano stopped talking, she looked directly into Anakin's eyes and nodded.
While they were talking, the LAAT/I assault transport boat they were driving had already flown near the Kent. As expected, a burst of fierce close-in defense artillery fire hit them.
Anakin Skywalker drove the spaceship nimbly and shuttled through the hail of bullets. No laser or blaster beam could hit them.
The hangar platform of the spacecraft was wide open, and it was dark inside, like the mouth of a giant beast, exuding an ominous feeling.
The LAAT/I transport boat broke through the Kent's close fire interception and flew directly into the hangar platform. Anakin Skywalker opened the cockpit and jumped out.
He looked at the battleship hangar platform that had been blown into ruins, with a solemn look on his face. He took out his lightsaber, and with a swish sound, the green lightsaber shot out. Relying on the little light brought by the lightsaber, he slowly moved forward in the darkness.
Soon, he saw another LAAT/I transport boat parked on the other side of the hangar, with a large man standing next to it.
Master Pon-Krel.
"Ah, Anakin, you are finally here." Pang Krell came over and said, "The situation here is a bit strange now. I didn't see anyone on the hangar platform, so I didn't enter rashly. I just waited here.
you."
Anakin Skywalker nodded, moved his steps as if nothing had happened, always keeping a distance from Pon Krell, and said: "The Kent was damaged in this way, and it was definitely not Cody's fault."
"I think so too. Let's go directly to the bridge and have a look." Pang Krel pointed forward and said.
Anakin nodded, secretly on guard as he walked deeper.
Pon-Krel smiled, slowed down, and fell behind Anakin.
However, when they had just reached the internal hatch of the hangar platform, suddenly the side door of the maintenance channel opened with a bang, and a man crawled out of it, shouting hysterically: "General Skywalker! Let's go! Pang!"
-Krell is the traitor! Asajj Ventress is here!!"
"Cody!" Anakin Skywalker saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Captain Cody, the former commander of the 212th Attack Battalion! But what he said was so informative and so shocking that Anakin was momentarily stunned.
Don't know how to respond.
"Ah! I finally found you! You traitor!!" Pang Krel roared, holding two double-headed lightsabers in his hands instantly, and he rushed towards Cody!
Cody was also prepared. When he saw Pang Krel coming, he rolled on the spot and hid under the wreckage of the fighter jet aside.
Whoa! The wreckage of the fighter jet was cut in two by Pang Krel!
"Stop! Master Krell! We need Cody alive!" Anakin yelled.
"No! For traitors, the only outcome is death!!" Pon-Krel said while slashing Cody with his sword again.
"Stop!" Anakin yelled, extending his lightsaber to block Krell's attack.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing of the Force in his heart, and a terrible crisis was right in front of him!
He reacted in an instant, raised his hand and used the force to push Cody away, and at the same time retracted his lightsaber to block it!
Buzz~~~~!!!
Two crossed blood-red lightsabers cut straight down, just being held by his lightsaber!
Asajj Ventress' pale, ferocious face appeared in front of Anakin Skywalker, and she smiled ferociously: "Now, go to hell! Skywalker!!"
